Lucy-B091: Difference between revisions

===Childhood and training===

{{Quote|Nuts to this.|An impatient Lucy preparing to charge a set of gun turrets head-on rather than wait to come up with a plan during a training exercise<ref name="goo90">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 90''</ref>}}

She was trained by [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] and [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] at [[Camp Currahee]] on [[Onyx]] for six years. Lucy—along with [[Adam-B004]], [[Min-B174]], and [[Tom-B292]]—became [[Team Foxtrot]], one of the organized Spartan-III combat teams in Beta Company.<ref name="g15"/> On [[2541|August 24, 2541]], Lucy and the rest of Team Foxtrot participated in one of a series of exercises meant to filter out extra candidates the program lacked funds to train. Lucy and Tom appropriated automated [[M202 XP machine gun]]s and with the help of the rest of their team, completed the objective. However, they continued to ambush several waves of their instructors before being forced to stand down by Chief Mendez and Lieutenant Commander Ambrose. Kurt commended them for their actions and they were accepted for further training and eventually [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|Spartan augmentation]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 89-96''</ref>

===Operation: TORPEDO===

{{Quote|How are you sure we're alive?|Lucy's last words to Tom, until 2553<ref name="torpedo">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 27''</ref>}}

Although the mission ended up as a 'success', only Lucy and Tom survived the battle. Adam and Min never made it, killed by the Covenant and a reactor, respectively. Lucy, traumatized by the incident, was diagnosed with [[posttraumatic vocal disarticulation]], rendering her unable to speak.<ref name="torpedo"/> Because of this, she was to be classified as "unfit for duty," and reassigned to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s psych branch for "psychological evaluation". Kurt Ambrose rescued her from this fate, along with Tom, convincing [[Margaret Parangosky|Vice Admiral Margaret Parangosky]] that he needed Spartan-IIIs to train the next company of Spartans. Over the next several years, Lucy and Tom became Kurt's adjutants and were instrumental in the training of the third generation of Spartan-IIIs, [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]]. They stayed at Camp Currahee and helped in the training until [[2552]]. By early [[2551]], Lucy and Tom held the rank of Petty Officer Second Class. In February 2551, they accompanied Kurt aboard {{UNSCShip|Hopeful}} to oversee Gamma Company's augmentations. By then they had recently spent significant time in microgravity which was [[Space walk|noticeable]] from their gaits. Kurt noted that she and Tom had spent so much time in their [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor]] armor he had difficulty recognizing them without the suits on.<ref name="g98"/>  

==Personality and traits==

{{Quote|multi=yes|q1=She strikes me as the unkillable sort.|q2=Yeah. She's a survivor.|Kelly-087|CPO Mendez|Exchange between [[Kelly-087]] and [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] regarding Lucy<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 204''</ref>}}

She is very compassionate and was greatly upset by the deaths of every one of her comrades; Beta Company's demise traumatized her to the point she ceased speaking completely and caused her to develop severe survivor's guilt.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 190''</ref><ref name="g279">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 279''</ref> During [[Operation: TORPEDO]] she initially refused to accept [[Min-B174]]'s abrupt death though Tom was able to snap her out of her shock, allowing the two to escape the destruction of the Covenant refinery. Years later, however, Kurt was able to convince Lucy to leave him behind at the conclusion of the [[Battle of Onyx]].<ref name="goo368"/> She was very protective of the [[Gamma Company]] Spartans she had helped train: when [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]] announced that the Gamma Spartans in [[Blue Team]] would be rendered KIA after [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|the mission]] on [[Gao]], she was prepared to unsheathe her [[combat knife]] before Osman explained the nature of the younger Spartans' reassignment.<ref name="hll327"/>

Because of her background as a war orphan Lucy harbors a resentment of the [[Sangheili]], and expressed considerable discomfort about working with them at the [[Onyx United Research Project]]. She was initially antagonistic to [[Kasha 'Hilot]], though she appeared to have calmed somewhat upon Mendez's harsh dismissal of the soldiers who had harassed the Sangheili. Her hatred of the Covenant did not extend to the [[Huragok]]; she was greatly distraught after she accidentally killed one of the Engineers in the shield world and quickly befriended [[Prone to Drift]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 281''</ref> She also held reservations about fighting fellow humans.<ref name="lessons"/>

Having endured through multiple hardships together, Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292 share a close bond. As children, the two would sometimes scuffle over disagreements though they became close friends and an effective team;<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 90, 92-95''</ref> this became more pronounced after they were left as the sole survivors of Beta Company and became Kurt's assistants and senior instructors for Gamma Company.<ref name="g98"/><ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 335''</ref> Tom was always able to understand Lucy in spite of her muteness<ref name="glass99"/> and acted as her more communicative counterpart when it was necessary for the duo to interact with others verbally or over [[COM]], for example.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 99, 137, 324''</ref>
